Use a USB charger with a newer PowerBook and 10.3
The problem is that these USB chargers draw current from the USB port without requesting it first. The USB standard requires devices to start up in low-power mode, and not draw more than a small current before a configuration with higher current requirements is selected by a driver or application on the computer. The USB chargers don't do this. The PowerBook can supply 500mA, but it will limit the current to far lower than this if the device hasn't requested it.

very interesting, thanks.

Is there a (software) way to "prompt" the USB port to deliver the required current?

Yes, open System Preferences :)

If I were to plug in a 'powered USB hub' into the powerbook and then plug the charger into this hub, would this solve the problem? |
